Bob Bobb Stadium is pretty nice since the renovations. I would have liked them to keep the Hyames Field in the name somehow though. I agree with broncos24 in that it needs a new scoreboard and lights before it is really a great stadium. It's definitely a good looking park and a nice place to see a game as it is though.

If this passes, it will affect scheduling. If the bigger schools know they need 7 wins to gain postseason eligibility, they will schedule more smaller schools instead of playing quality non-conference opponents. What I would like to see is the requirement that to be eligible for postseason, a team must play a non-conference ROAD game. I do like the possibility of 7 wins for eligibility, I just wonder what it would do for scheduling.

I'm concerned that the receiving corps is going to struggle early, similar to 2009. It doesn't matter how good the quarterback is if the receivers can't get open. Hopefully I'm wrong. These guys need to come out of the gate playing with speed and confidence if there's going to be any hope of stealing games from the BCS opponents on our schedule.

I've never been a fan of playing 5 DB's, especially in recent years, but I'm willing to give the new defense a chance. Considering most MAC teams are pass happy, it might be better suited to the league. I just wonder what happens when we play teams with a running game. There will be lots of pressure to tackle in space- something this team struggled with last season.

As a selfish Bronco fan, I'm glad DeKeyser is returning for his junior season. He's a fantastic hockey player who is only going to get better as he adds strength. I really hope the Wings can lock him up when he's ready to turn pro.

Thanks for the comments Eric. I was very impressed with how North Dakota played and the large fan base. Looking forward to starting a new rivalry when the NCHC gets going. I have a feeling these two schools are going to see a lot of great games with each other in the near future.

uofmbronco didn't watch the same game I did. We were right there, and didn't even play our best game. To go from where this program was two years ago to where it is now is a tremendous accomplishment. I would think that two straight NCAA Tournaments and a good showing would be enough to have a little pride in your alma mater. Apparently not for some. I'm darn proud to be a Bronco alum despite the loss. A very fun year and successful year with a very likable and hard working group of players. Thanks for a great run Broncos!

All you guys dissing on Drew are friggin idiots. How nice must it be to have a cushy job where you can sit back and criticize others work? There are two sports reporters at the Gazette. In case you haven't noticed, local teams are still playing in the HS basketball playoffs, other local HS teams are still playing, and WMU hockey is in the NCAA Tournament. This is spring football. That's, let's see... two guys to cover maybe eight teams or so? And neither of these guys has been on the football beat before? Yeah, that's real easy. Sounds like some people need a dose of perspective. Keep up the good work guys.

Thanks for doing a feature like this DD. North Dakota sounds like one of those teams that will do whatever it takes to win, regardless of how they match up. Can't argue with their recent success either. This will be a fun matchup. Hoping for the best. Go Broncos
